Kama Ruby Jazz Singer

About Me

Jazz, Chill, Rock Vocalist and Actress 310/210-2775 www.kamaruby.com [email protected]

Kama Ruby is a jazz vocalist/actress/dancer. Her credits include Oberon in New Light Theater Project's “A Midsummer Night's Dream,” Stella in a Western States Tour of “A Streetcar Named Desire,” a producer and cast member in the California tour of “Stages: A Unique and Unusual Cabaret” as well as performing with the Utah Shakespearean Festival, the Kern Shakespeare Theater, the Rogue Fringe Festival, the Nevada Conservatory Theater, and many other venues.

Kama’s focus in the last several years has been on performing as a jazz vocalist. Gifted with a beautiful, sexy, and sultry voice, she is well versed in the standard jazz vocal repertoire. Her performances of classics such as “Something Cool” or “One for My Baby” display her remarkable emotional as well as vocal range.

However, whether performing as a solo artist, backed by an accompanist, or with her band, Kama Ruby and Company, she also adheres to the notion that “Jazz isn’t just for the straight ahead folks!” by covering compositions that are hardly ever associated with jazz. She combines her love for jazz with her love for classic & alternative rock, and gives those tunes a completely different, jazzy flavor, while still maintaining the recognizable feel of the originals.

Kama's first album “Kama Ruby, Straight-up & Chilled” and her sophomore album, “Kama Ruby: Rock Dreams in Jazz” are both a mix of jazz standards, acid jazz, classic rock, and pop tunes. The recordings capture the live feel of her performances and her unique take on familiar works.

My Jazz Story

I love jazz because...it is fun to explore ideas you may not have tried before. I was first exposed to jazz...through the Bakersfield Jazz Workshop I met George Benson at a Fleetwood Mac concert! The best show I ever attended was Roger Waters: Dark Side of the Moon at Coachella Music Festival The first jazz record I bought was The Blue Cranes
